📖 Easy Explanation

When you quit your company (resignation, dismissal, etc.), you need to complete health insurance and pension procedures within 14 days of resigning. If left unattended, you will be uninsured, and you may have to pay the full amount of medical expenses at the hospital.

Where to apply: Ota City Hall, National Health Insurance Division / National Pension Division (0276-47-1111).

[Health Insurance] After resigning, you can choose to ① join Ota City's National Health Insurance, or ② voluntarily continue your former employer's insurance (maximum 2 years). Which is more advantageous depends on your income situation. [Pension] When a company employee resigns, it is necessary to switch from Employees' Pension to National Pension.
